In today's digital age, it's tempting to rely on automated home valuation tools like Zestimates for a quick estimate of your home's worth. While convenient, these tools often miss the mark.

The good news is that even though problems may occur during the sale of your home you can easily eliminate them with this simple problem solving checklist. Problem 1 – You’ve Priced Your Home Too High   Ask any Realtor and they will tell you that price is one of the biggest reasons a home doesn’t sell.
